About
I chose to specialize in Rheumatology because I enjoy the multi-system disease processes, the constantly evolving treatment options, and the opportunity to form strong physician-patient relationships. When a diagnosis is unclear, a Rheumatologist is often consulted, and I enjoy the process of analyzing a plethora of data and navigating grey areas. I gained this further specialization through a Rheumatology Fellowship at Rush University Medical Center.
Today, in my practice, I provide osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and auto-immune disease care, with a special interest in rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
I believe in fostering a strong patient-physician relationship based on mutual trust, respect, and knowledge. Given the extensive treatment options now available for systemic autoimmune diseases and the unique experiences and goals of each patient, I have found that this partnership improves satisfaction and understanding for both me and my patients.
I look forward to partnering with you to help you achieve a more active and symptom-free lifestyle.
